your tutorials are fantastic! perfect pacing, and a Bob Ross quality about watching them! the level feature! I never would have figured that out on my own. Great work! New favorite YT teacher.

This was a good video, although not what I was looking for.
Do you know how one can determine remaining megapixels after cropping?

[@DavidSornbergerFilms]

Really useful info - thank you! I’m always learning new tips and tricks in Lightroom! 😊

[@mrdev9843]

I was hoping you might talk about composition using the lightroom crop overlay tool.

I used to shoot and print a lot of B&W 2 and a quarter photography with medium format. is there a way to edit in Lightroom Classic, to imitate 2 and a qtr - while still maintaining some printing discipline? I would like to post the online digitally in a square, but also give ability for people to get them printed in a square. thank you in advance.

[@etiennededurocher]

can even crop while zoomed? how is this not a basic feature?

[@mtnguyen1696]

how do i crop says 16x20 that's not in the listed options?

[@newagedogcare3261]

How do you, just "cut" a specific part of a image, and paste that part that was cut, into another photo? and i mean, to cut the part "completely" to its shape and not just a outside square of it on adobe lightroom? Example: for him, to "cut" the girl out completely, and the "cut" to be lined to every part of her body, so he can immediately paste it to another other photo? I can't figure Adobe out at all. thank you

My controls look nothing like this. This looks like a completely different program compared to the latest version of Lightroom I have installed.
